Pregnant Tribal Woman Evades Hospital Delivery, Delivers Safely
A pregnant woman from a tribal group in India didn't want to go to the hospital to have her baby.
When the medical team came to take her, she hid in a field!
The team, along with villagers, found her and convinced her to go to the hospital.
She went, and within an hour, she had a healthy baby boy.
Both mom and baby are doing well now.
Some women in her community are scared of hospitals because of things that have happened to other women in the past.
Atram Bheem Bai, a 43-year-old Adivasi woman, hid from medical staff to avoid hospital delivery.
Medical staff and villagers found her in a field after searching for an hour.
